You'll find this a unique opportunity to own and grow an emerging fundraising function and shape it into something extra special.
Salary: £32-36k
Contract: Permanent, full-time 35 hours per week or reduced hours considered

About Chasing the Stigma
Chasing the Stigma exists to make sure everyone in the UK can find mental health support, whenever they need it. With lived experience at the heart of everything they do, their work spans awareness campaigns, training, policy influence and the UK's largest directory of community mental health services, the Hub of Hope.
Following organic growth, they are now ready to take fundraising to the next level - and this is where you come in!
About the role
As Fundraising Manager, you will support the development and lead on the delivery of a new and ambitious fundraising strategy across individual giving, community fundraising and corporate partnerships.
You will be trusted to spot opportunities, test ideas and build sustainable income streams that support life-changing and life-saving work.
This is a hands-on, varied role where you will combine strategic thinking with practical delivery. You will work closely with colleagues to build a clear case for support, bring the charity's impact to life through powerful storytelling and build meaningful relationships with supporters and partners across the UK.
There is real potential to build a fundraising team as income grows, if this matters to you.
Who we are looking for
You might already be a Fundraising Manager, or you could be ready to step up from a fundraising role. Either way, you'll be able to showcase:
- Track record of generating income through fundraising or business development
- Confidence with high-value corporate or individual fundraising, working at five-figures
- Strong communication and storytelling skills
- Proactive, ideas-led approach and enjoy taking ownership
- Genuine passion for shifting the dial on mental health
You don't need to be the finished article in every area - if you're a fundraiser with passion, creativity and drive, we would love to hear from you.
We would particularly welcome applications from people of colour, people with disabilities, people who identify as being LGBTQIA+, and people from other commonly marginalised groups who are underrepresented in Chasing the Stigma's team.
How to apply
If this sounds like your next big adventure, then we would absolutely love to hear from you.
Please send your CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People in the first instance and we'll be in touch with further details if your skills and experience match what we're looking for.
